RHIZUM – Root Biostimulant for Optimal Rooting

Product characteristics

RHIZUM is a liquid root biostimulant, specially formulated to stimulate the root system and improve rooting from the earliest stages of crop development. This product is suitable for organic farming, making it an option for both certified farms and growers transitioning to more sustainable practices.

Its mode of action is based on two essential agronomic mechanisms:

1. The release of nutrients locked in the soil, which are often unavailable to plants because of reversion or chemical immobilization.
2. Improved soil water- and nutrient-holding capacity, creating a more favorable environment for root growth.

This dual action supports balanced plant development from the most sensitive stages of the growth cycle. RHIZUM is applied through fertigation, specifically during the crop germination and establishment phase — a pivotal period when a well-developed root system determines the plant’s future vigor and resilience.

The recommended application rate is 2 to 5 liters per hectare per application, a range that allows the amount to be adjusted according to crop type, soil characteristics and establishment conditions. This flexibility makes the product easy to incorporate into a variety of crop management programs, whether for field crops, vegetables, horticultural crops, nursery plants or any crop with a critical establishment phase.

A product available by quotation: because transport costs must be calculated for each order, RHIZUM is not sold online at a fixed price. A personalized quotation is prepared for each request, allowing the order to be tailored to the farm’s needs and location.

Benefits

Incorporating RHIZUM into a crop management program from the establishment phase offers several practical agronomic benefits that directly affect the rest of the growth cycle:

1. Improved rooting, essential for a vigorous plant that can withstand later stresses.
2. Greater availability of nutrients already present in the soil, through the release of locked-in elements, without the need for substantial additional fertilizer applications.
3. Optimized soil retention capacity, limiting water and nutrient losses through leaching.
4. Early, uniform root development, from the germination and establishment stages.
5. Balanced plant growth, from the root system to the above-ground parts.
6. Better use of inputs already applied, since RHIZUM optimizes the uptake of existing nutrients rather than simply adding new ones.

RHIZUM is particularly valuable because of its strategic use during germination and establishment. Much of a crop’s future potential is determined at this stage: a dense, deep and well-branched root system helps the plant take up water and nutrients throughout its growth cycle, withstand adverse weather conditions (drought, water stress) and fully realize its yield potential.

By promoting both nutrient release and soil water retention, RHIZUM addresses two major factors that can limit root establishment. This makes it a particularly useful complementary agronomic tool for supporting crop establishment, especially in poor, compacted soils or soils with low nutrient availability.

Natural composition

A composition targeted at root nutrition and stimulation

RHIZUM combines three complementary groups of active ingredients, precisely formulated to optimize their action on the root system:

1. 7,5% amino acids, recognized for stimulating root development and soil biological activity.
2. 2,5% organic nitrogen (N), providing a gradual, readily available nitrogen supply that supports vegetative development.
3. 2% calcium oxide (CaO), a key element in cell structure and the strengthening of root tissues.

This combination of amino acids, organic nitrogen and calcium enables RHIZUM to act simultaneously on biological stimulation, nitrogen nutrition and root structure, three complementary factors in successful rooting.

Why choose RHIZUM over another root stimulant?

Several factors support including RHIZUM in your fertilization program:

1. Precise targeting of the establishment phase, a strategic time when investing in rooting has the greatest impact on future yield potential.
2. A balanced composition of amino acids, organic nitrogen and calcium, designed specifically for rooting rather than general fertilization.
3. Compatibility with organic farming, an important criterion for certified farms or those in transition.
4. Application through fertigation, a precise and efficient method for delivering the product directly to the root zone.
5. Action on the availability of nutrients already present in the soil, helping maximize the return on previous fertilizer applications.
6. Flexible application rates (2 to 5 L/ha), adaptable to soil and climate conditions and crop type.

In short, RHIZUM is intended for all growers — vegetable growers, horticultural growers, nursery operators and field crop producers — who want to support their crops through the critical germination and establishment phase by encouraging early, dense and balanced rooting, laying the foundation for greater resilience and optimized yield potential throughout the rest of the growth cycle.
